why did Chaucer stop composing The Canterbury
Tales before he completed all 120 of them?

he died

they were unpopular at the time

the king commanded him to stop

there were too many inaccuracies and inconsistencies for him to continue the
tales

Answers

Answer 1
I think it’s because he died. One scholar predicted that it would’ve taken him 200 years to finish at the rate he was going. (I know for sure the second and third options are wrong because he used to read them out at the royal court to entertain people.)

The purpose of presenting a counterclaim is to
present a fair argument that does not choose sides.
address any objections to your claim and explain how they fall short.
show both sides of an argument, letting readers make an informed decision.
validate any objections to the claim being made.

Answers

Answer:

The purpose of presenting a counterclaim is to validate any objections to the claim being made.

Explanation:

A counterclaim is a claim that rebuts a previous claim.

To rebut is to claim or prove that something is false.

So rebutting a previous claim in which one is trying to prove that something is false, is simply trying to make your objections valid.

When making a counterclaim, you're trying to show or prove that what someone else said is untrue or false and the main purpose of making a counterclaim is to show your objections to the previous claim and validate it (that is showing that it is valid).

Maintaining the current nine-month school year is essential to keeping students in school. Despite a limited statistic showing a smaller dropout rate, students in year-round school would find more stressors added to their already overwhelming lives. While the American education system does need to be reformed, changing the schedule is not the way to do it.
What makes this a strong conclusion?
It ends with a call to action for all schools to change to a year-round schedule.
It ends with a judgment that reform is needed but that the schedule should be left alone.
It ends with a judgment that students will not be affected regardless of any changes.

What evidence from the text supports the prediction that Helmer will learn the contents of the letter? Select three options.

Answers

This question concerns Act 2 of the play "A Doll's House". I've found the options online. They are the following:

What evidence from the text supports the prediction that Helmer will learn the contents of the letter? Select three options.

Helmer knows that there is a piece of mail from Krogstad in the box.

Nora looks at her watch and tells herself she has 31 hours to live.

Helmer thinks that Nora is nervous and dismisses her pleas about the mail.

Mrs. Linde fails to find Krogstad so he can take back the piece of mail.

Nora expresses her intention of having a champagne banquet.

Answer:

The three correct options are:

A. Helmer knows that there is a piece of mail from Krogstad in the box.

C. Helmer thinks that Nora is nervous and dismisses her pleas about the mail.

D. Mrs. Linde fails to find Krogstad so he can take back the piece of mail.

Explanation:

Krogstad is blackmailing Nora. Krogstad works for Helmer, Nora's husband, but Helmer has decided to fire him. Since Krogstad knows about an illegal loan Nora has taken from the bank where they work, he is threatening to reveal that in case Nora does not convince her husband to give him his job back.

In Act 2, Nora is desperate because she knows there is a letter from Krogstad to her husband in the letter box, and so does Helmer. She pleads with him to not read any mail until after a party the next day, but Helmer thinks she is doing this out of nervousness and dismisses her pleas. To make matters worse, Nora's friend, Mrs. Linde, fails to contact Krogstad and ask him to retrieve the letter. All of that is evidence that support the prediction that Helmer will learn the contents of the letter.

What was some of the opportunities cost associated with not invading Iraq?

Answer:

The 2003 invasion and occupation of Iraq is widely considered to have been one of the biggest military blunders in U.S. history.  Its failure to achieve intended war aims is reflected in the fact that 11 years after the operation began, Washington today is debating what steps should be taken to slow the advance of Islamic militants toward Baghdad.  Rather than establishing a stable, self-sustaining democracy, the U.S. occupation unleashed forces which may now lead to the country's breakup -- not to mention millions of casualties.

Drag each tile to the correct box.
Match the underlined root of each word to its meaning.
anthropology
judge
psychology
people
economy
mind
democracy
man
judicious
law

Answers

Answer:

Anthropology - Man

Psychology - Mind

Economy - Law

Democracy - People

Judicious - Judge

Explanation:

The root word of any word is the basis from which the word is made or formed. It is the primary unit of the word or a family from which the word comes forth. They form the base of word-formation.

Anthropology is the study of man and his surroundings, society, etc. This study focuses on the formation of societies of various human civilizations. The word "anthro" is a Greek word that basically means "man".

Psychology is the study of the minds or psyche of man and his behavior. This root word "psyche" refers to the mind-matter, the emotions, or the cognitive power of humans.

The economy is the process through which the country's or even a state's goods are produced and supplied. This process constitutes one of the laws that govern the well being of the people.

Democracy is the form of governing a group of people, a system of governing where there are rights that are allowed or given to the citizens. In this form of government, the people hold the majority power instead of being ruled by a dictator. They also have the right to voice their concerns and even criticize the works of their elected leaders.

Judicious is the power system where a judge is elected to preside over certain serious matters between people. This power structure allows for a common ground where disputes can be peacefully settled and both sides of the story presented without any discrimination.

It was 8:30 a.m., and her 1,000-word report on The Catcher in the Rye was due at 9:00. For the past hour, she had been flipping through the ratty pages of the old paperback trying to discern the major plot points and then typing out a few sentences that she hoped were logical. The only reason she was able to get into the lab that early was because she was one of Mrs. Brodys assistants, but a couple of hours in the lab didnt make up for weeks of zoning out in English class.Miranda could kick herself, but she was too busy skimming through her notes and attempting to remember somethinganything!that Mr. Giuffreda had talked about. Mr. Giuffreda was a tough grader, and Miranda did not work well under pressurenot a great combination. On top of all that, Miranda could hear her mothers voice in her head: One more bad grade in English, young lady, and no more soccer team. Miranda failed to see the relationship between soccer and book reports, but she also knew her mother wasnt kidding. When she had slacked off in geometry last semester, her mother had taken away her cell phone for a month. Another time, when Miranda had missed her curfewagain and againshe had gotten grounded for two weeks.Still typing, Miranda thought about Mr. Giuffreda. He expected nothing but the bestand then some. He never gave extensions unless someone had a family emergency, and he had a terrible habit of brushing off even the most creative excuses. Anyway, Miranda didnt need an extra day or two. She needed time to read the entire novel again. Miranda ran a word count361. She checked her watch8:45. She flipped to the end of the book trying desperately to remember the ending, but nothing was coming to her. Why hadnt she paid attention?At 8:55, she had a whopping, miraculous 402 words. The homeroom bell had rung five minutes ago, and students were filing into the lab for first period. Mirandas fingers were still flying, but by 8:59, Mrs. Brody asked Miranda to leave so she could start class on time. Miranda saved her work on her USB drive, collected her pages from the printer, and slung her knapsack over her shoulder. Then she trudged down the hall to Mr. Giuffredas class as slowly as possible, even though she knew she would be late and would probably get detention.What can be inferred from the passage?A.
